Those who saw the plane were unable to detect what kind of an aircraft it was. two wins are mpiured here hhmf James Tilgham and Mealvin Potter, two long term convicts . escaped on Sunday from the prison camp at Whittier, and were picked up on Mill Street in Sylva, Monday night by Patrolman John CKelly and Deputy Sheriff Dock Wood.

They stated that they had not eaten since Sunday noon, and the officers took them to a cafe and bought them a supper before returning them to the prison camp. 'tf
